The Jewish Anarchist Salon invites you to join in co-learning and dialogue on what it means to be both anarchist and Jewish today. In recent years, Jewish anarchism has had a rebirth, reemerging in resistance to growing authoritarianism, including increases in antisemitism. But it’s also reimagining itself, whether in terms of queer and feminist sensibilities, cultural and ritual practices, or spaces that prefigure the world to come. This salon aims to build on and encourage the further growth of Jewish anarchism as well as strengthen connections with each other. The hope is that in these conversations and beyond, we can develop creative, proud, and liberatory responses to our broken world. Each 1.5-hour online gathering will revolve around a theme, which will be kicked off with some framing thoughts by a presenter or 15-30 minutes. Then it will open up for facilitated conversation among us all. This salon is open to anyone who identifies as Jewish.
